STIPULATION OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL
2
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2), Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc.
3
(“Synopsys”) and Defendant ATopTech, Inc. (“ATopTech”), by and through their respective
4
counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
5
1.
The Court, in its Order Construing Claims dated January 19, 2016 (ECF No. 507),
6
held that the claim term “means for identifying a cross-coupled circuit contained within said
7
netlist, wherein said cross-coupled circuit includes a primary net and an aggressor net” of Claims
8
15-19 of U.S. Patent No. 6,405,348 (the ’348 patent) is indefinite.
9
2.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB)
10
issued its final decision in inter partes review (IPR) case no. IPR2014-01145 finding Claims 1-4
11
and 7-11 of U.S. Patent No. 6,237,127 (the ’127 patent) to be unpatentable. Synopsys did not
12
appeal that decision.
13
3.
The PTAB issued its final decision in IPR case no. IPR2014-01150 finding, inter
14
alia, Claims 33-36 of U.S. Patent No. 6,567,967 (the ’967 patent) to be unpatentable. Synopsys
15
did not appeal the portion of the decision pertaining to Claims 33-36.
16
4.
Based on the Court’s claim construction order, the parties agree that Synopsys’
17
claim for infringement of Claims 15-19 of the ’348 patent should be dismissed with prejudice and
18
that ATopTech’s defenses pertaining to Claims 15-19 of the ’348 patent should be dismissed
19
without prejudice. By entering into this stipulation, neither party concedes that the rulings in the
20
Court’s claim construction order are correct and Synopsys and ATopTech reserve all rights to
21
appeal the Court's claim construction order and all other decisions entered prior to this stipulation.
22
5.
In light of the PTAB’s decisions in the above-referenced IPR proceedings, the
23
parties agree that all claims pertaining to Claims 1-4 and 7-11 of the ’127 patent and Claims 33-
24
36 of the ’967 patent are moot.
